About

Hi, I’m Matt.

I’m the founder of The Everyday Marksman.

I’ve always been an outdoors fanatic and avid shooting enthusiast. Since 2014, I’ve been on a mission to teach everyday citizens how to become more capable, confident, and prepared to handle whatever the world throws at them. It’s not just about high-speed shooting tactics or expensive gear, but the sum of your abilities across wide range of skills.

My guiding star is mastery of the fundamentals first, which enables success in all other areas. Check out the topics we cover down below.
